Re: The "Does it Even Itself Out?" Thread

Royal Ginger Evened out a bit for us today. 3 penalty calls in our favor and a great save from the woodwork too.


Errrrrr, 3 penalty calls in our favour ?

Shirley only two - even the most one-eyed Toffee would not suggest that our pen was anything other than a pen

Re: The "Does it Even Itself Out?" Thread

Apparently the Newcastle fans are comforting themselves with this handball being the reward for a Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (?sp) handball given against them several years ago. Memories are longer than just one season either way. We should comfort ourselves with the knowledge that this evens out Robi...

Re: Jay Tabb

Just watched Football First (for me it's now Football Sixth 8) ). Funniest moment is when we had a corner and JT pats Morrison on the shoulder as he and Gorkss take up positions. He looks about 2ft shorter than either of them :lol: Just checked - he's the same height as Iniesta :shock: If the improv...

Re: SIGNED: Chris Gunter

Can you please point out 5 things he did wrong today before you go calling him 'utterly rubbish'.. 15+ times Jagielka pinged the ball to Fellani on his side & not once did he win it. In addition to that he was caught on the ball at least 3 times & could have released it a lot earlier. Those...

Re: Back from the game

Snowball TBF to Hunty & Co.

it wasn't "just" beating Everton, but getting our first win.


PS we already have as many points as Derby had when they had nine.

Re: Back from the game

Good job Reading! Let's see if that transforms our fortunes or not! We are 4 games into a run of 6 where i thought we needed 9 or 10 points from. We have 6 out of 12 so far. If we beat villa or wigan i think we can say par.  To be honest that was probably bm's most important team since becomminf ma...

Re: January Window

Have just read all this through, And I'm with Brendy - Good centre back a la Dawson and a good centre midfielder a la Sidwell and I reckon we'd be ok. Would be extremely chuffed with both of those purchases. I'd go as far as saying that Sidwell would be the most crucial one. Midfield general is exa...

Re: FA Cup - MK Dons

The Dons are a wart of the face of football ............ but, if they hadn't been bought and moved, does anyone really think that they would still exist. AFC Wimbledon would still have been required to de-Rangerisfy the situation. They have very few fans. Now the truth is, they should've been allow...

Ian Royal wrote: Bit tricky really, he could only sell his majority share holding of 51% at the moment because the remainder of the deal to take the rest hasn't gone through so it's Still Madejski's.

Birmingham City's auditors have resigned- unbelieving that all information has been passed to them...still not published the 2012 accounts...


I'm sure it's a typo but it's still 2012 - not publishing them wouldn't yet be a problem
